đ°đȘ Bitcoin in Kibera â this is how crypto should work
While the world debates ETFs and megafunds, something real is happening in Nairobiâs slums: Bitcoin is being used as a lifeline.
đ Project: AfriBit Africa + Bitcoin Cowries đ Location: Kibera â Africaâs largest informal settlement đŻ Mission: Build a sustainable, grassroots economy powered by BTC
đč Whatâs happening: âą BTC payments for waste collection âą BTC accepted at local markets and motorbike taxis âą BTC used for saving â no banks, no IDs âą BTC as a gateway to education: from digital literacy to coding
đč Why this is right: â Crypto is solving real-world problems â financial access, inflation protection, economic agency â This isnât speculation â itâs survival â No banks. No paperwork. Just a smartphone. â Transparency, decentralization, and freedom â in practice, not in whitepapers
đ§ Fact: Some participants hold up to 70â80% of their net worth in BTC Because itâs the only asset they truly trust
đź Whatâs next? The project is growing, creating jobs, expanding to new regions, and reshaping how money works from the ground up. This is where the real financial revolution begins â not on Wall Street, but in the heart of Kibera.
đ This is the true mission of Web3: not just to build DeFi â but to give people a second chance. And that chance often begins in the most unexpected places.
